To Any Concerned Summoner.....Please Help.
I submitted this request to Riot tonight and I would love your help to see that it doesn't get lost in the busy shuffle at Riot. Thank you. GL HF(:
To whomever is reading: First I would like to thank you for your time and for actually reading this request. With so many request being sent into Riot I truly hope this does not get lost in the shuffle. I started playing League of Legends when it was just starting out. Not many people had heard of it, but everyone who had loved it. Myself included. I quickly fell more and more in love with the game play and champion lore and everything about League! That love for your game is still strong within me, more than a girl likes to admit! About seven months ago my health started slipping away from me. Slowly at first and then all at once (Thank you John Green for that oh-so-true quote). I have spent more nights in the ER than I've had normal doctors visits in my entire life. Mind you this is all within the last seven months. 10 CAT scans, 13 ER visits, 3 surgeries, and countless specialists later and here we are. No closer to answers than the beginning and gone through too much for any 18 year old. I had to leave college. Leave all of my friends behind. Now, this isn't the main point of this request so I will move on, but needless to say...I'm hopeless. League of legends became my escape. It was something that was fun, engaging, and didn't take too much of my energy away. The obsession continues. However, tonight that all changed. I hate to air on the dramatic side of things, but what happened tonight was inexcusably horrid. I was playing an ARAM with two of my friends. Things were going fairly well, but it was chaotic in true ARAM fashion. There was a player who kept getting killed and after a few more deaths decided to send this comment, "I hope you get leukemia." Now normally I would just brush something like this off, we all say things we don't mean when we get frustrated, but leukemia is becoming a very real reality for me over the past seven months. It struck a chord with me, very deeply at that. So I responded with "I have leukemia. That isn't funny." To which I was told "Good. Have fun dying soon." At this point my friends stepped in. Saying things like "This is a real fatal disease." and "This is uncalled for." Nothing brash or rude. The players response was horrifying. "It's not my fault she [talking about me] is flawed." and continued to taunt me about this cancer, no taunting pun intended. The things that were said hit me to my core and pushed out some tears. All my friends could say was "I'm sorry." "No one, especially someone in your situation should be told something like that." I thought it was over and I would just report this player at the end game screen and that would be that. The game ends and it goes to the end game screen. I reported the player and then looked at the chat room. "Enjoy dying." and other messages were plastered across the room from this same player. My heart sank and for the first time ever I had felt as hopeless on League as I did in the real world. I am sorry to write a novel about this particular incident, but League of Legends is a large passion of mine and someone needs to hear this story. It may not seem like a big deal to someone who is able to have a job and will go home tonight and snuggle in bed and sleep comfortably. But to someone who sits in bed for days at a time, not by choice, and gets to stare at all of her friends accomplishing the dreams she has for herself, this means the world. I understand that a lot of people slip through the cracks, not everybody in the Tribunal would ban this person. I need your help. This person seemed very proud that they could offend a sick person, which is disturbing but I know that I can handle it, what bothers me is the fact that they won't ever understand that it is wrong. I am sorry to write such a negative thing about a game that I love. In the meantime, I'm back on the rift and you better get back to creating something awesome. Sincerely yours, One Proud Gamer (:
